A : A brazilian butt lift is very long lasting. The fat that is transferred into the flat buttocks is living and will remain living as normal fat. No all of the fat that is transferred at the time of surgery will survive but after several months the fat that does survive will be there for life. Sometimes you need to repeat the the fat transfer to get the fullness you desire. Best wishes dr. Peterson.

A : A brazilian butt lfit is accomplished by transfer of living fat cells from other parts of the body to the buttocls. Once they are transferred a certain percentage die but the remaining fat cell live and will remain with you for life.

Fat Transfer Lasts: Bbl will have lasting benefits for years. A brazilian butt lift involves harvesting fat from an unwanted area and then preparing it for transfer where it is injected into the buttocks as a living transplant. Often times for the best appearance it is necessary to have more than one session for this procedure. As long as you maintain your body at a stable level, the results should be permanent.

It Can Be Permanent: BBL success is highly dependent on surgical technique during fat extraction, processing, and reinjection. It is also important for the patient to follow the post-op restrictions to ensure success. When done correctly, fat grafts are permanent. When done incorrectly, they may not last and you may need a re-do. (http://www.cosmeticsurg.net/blog/2009/12/03/recipe-for-permanent-fat-injections/)
